How do you tell what a dream means?
To interpret a dream, we must first analyze it; -what key details seemed most prominent; -which elements seemed most important; -which parts do you remember best; -what parts seemed "brighter," stood out more..; Whether events or objects, we can here research. There are a few ways to find out what these elements of your dream mean. There are a few books out, claiming to be "Dream Dictionaries." These help with researching the meaning of a few details; ex: being chased, jets. There are also websites specializing in interpretation; www.dreammoods.com is my favourite, you simply type in the object or event which seems prominent, and a probable answer will come up, but keep in mind that dreams are always important, and will almost always mean something;; whether important or barely affecting you. but some dreams will change the way you see everything in your life, affect the way you think.. affect what you do and how you do it. A dream is your imagination coming out to play and running into your subconconsience, on its way to tell you something *usually significant.* But keep in mind that these resources, online or in a book, are meerly just suggestions, and do not at all represent what your dreams may actually mean or how you should go about interpreting them. Your dreams are pulled from your life experiences, your thoughts, your subconsience (sp?) and the best way to figure out what your dream may mean is to tap into your memories and things that have happened to you, or things you may have done or thought. Usually, to figure out if a dream is significant or not, you see how much you remember of it. If you wake up not remembering that you dreamt anything, your dreams are usually insignificant. If you have a dream where you awake and suddenly the whole way you look at things is altared, you know it may be an Epic Dream, significant and important.. forwarning or reminding.
Do dreams have meaning!?!?
I'm sure it could but then again maybe not. But to me dreaming is an amazing thing because how do we know what to think about when we're not awake? And DO they come true? You might have dreams that mean nothing or dreams that are real... and sometimes you dream about thing you want the most and wish you could have because for some people dreaming helps them from their reality if it's bad. Kinda off the subject of the question but just a thought... well good luck! :)
Do dreams always have some kind of meaning?
Most dreams are just what you said - everything that's happened recently, plus things that are on your mind, even things you see in the street or on tv, get mixed together as your mind tries to make sense of it all. its like your mind carries on once your body is asleep. Sometimes you can work things out in a dream, sometimes they are so confusing they dont make any sense. sometimes you 'rehearse' your fears through your dreams. I dont know why we have them exactly but research shows you get really messed up if you are deprived of dream sleep. I wouldnt worry about a dream having too much meaning unless its a recurrent dream.
Strange dream but i cant find a meaning for it....?
If you believe that dreams have symbolic meaning then analyse it, piece by piece. If you have worries that you push to the back of your mind, they will typically emerge when you are sleeping, they won't make much sense but you may be able to unravel key points which relate to your subconscious. In your real life you may be running away from something that frightens you. The skeleton is an issue that was/is dead and buried, that has resurfaced and is troubling you, or you fear that it may. Perhaps you have unresolved issue with your mother or someone who is mother-like or an older female. The wizard I am not sure about. The dictionary definition of a wizard 1.A person who practices magic; magician or sorcerer. 2. A conjurer or juggler. You may be juggling a lot of things and finding it overwhelming and you are drowning under it. The blood may relate to family issues or pressures. I am guessing of course but it may have also been an old fashioned nightmare. :)
Help with this dream interpretation and meaning of this dream??
If you re a guy and a girl has a dream about you in a Renaissance fair setting, or maybe even that era, does it mean they subconsciously think of you as a Renaissance man? Like they think highly of you, and they think you re a guy that can do it all, hence the renaissance. Usually people were like the jack of all trades
Do dreams have a meaning? Why do I get the same one again and again?
Depends on the approach to dreams you take. There are multiple approaches ranging from psychological to religious and in between. The common theme however is that dreams are an attempt from the subconscious or God to communicate to you through imagery. This has some evidence of “dream state communication” throughout human history. Ranging from ancient mesopotamia, Egyptian culture, Roman Catholic mythology and into the dark ages eventually continuing into today.Throughout my research there does seem to be a connection. According to Jungian psychology this would be your subconscious trying to tell you something through the imagery that is presented. The imagery itself can have profound meaning and usually reflects some archetypal idea. Normally these aren’t necessarily good but more something you already know and choose ignore within your life consciously or subconsciously.I would recommend looking up some of the meaning behind this imagery you see and then analyzing how it all interacts with itself to pull out some meaning. Make sure to keep this in context with your life and events that have happened or are happening. There are also different types of dreams depending on the themes presented within it. I would also recommend you take a Jungian approach to this so that you don’t mix imagery meaning from different approaches.Now I didn’t touch much on the possiblitly of this being a religious experience for a reason. Mainly because that is another topic all together and I want to try to avoid my bias approach from Christianity that I have. I hope this helps in a general sense.
What does it mean if you dream the same dream continuously?
Generally when a dream reapeats it may be because:1) It is expressing and anxiety/worry/fear you have2) It is expressing a desire/hope/need you haveAnd your subconscious (or your ‘higher self’) is desperately trying to get you to firstly acknowledge the message and secondly set about coping with or resolving the issue in your waking life.The suggestion to write down the dream is a good one. Clearly you remember them well enough to recognize the repeating scenarios. But it is important to note how you feel in the dreams and how you feel about the content of them on waking. You don’t mention time frequency of the repeats and that can be important. Differences in how the scenarios play out each time can be important too, particularly if you’ve been acknowledging the message and trying to respond appropriately with changes in your life, attitudes etc. This is can be an affirmation you’re on the right path to resolve things or a warning that because you haven’t been making the appropriate adjustments the issue is becoming more critical.If you realize while dreaming that you are in a repeated dream, you’re ‘lucid’ dreaming and you should seize the opportunity to test out ways to resolve whatever within the dream. This can give one the confidence to proceed in implementing changes in our waking life. Sometimes if you wake in the night with a dream puzzling you…you can affirm that you will return to the same dream scenario but that someone or thing in the dream will make the meaning more clear to you. This is more common for some of us. But the fact that you are aware some dream scenario is repeating is a good sign than you can learn to both be ‘aware’ (lucid) while dreaming, and that you give some direction, ask questions and get answers from your dreams.
Some people think all dreams have special meaning. What do you think?
Dreaming is our consciousness tuning into another dimension or reality. The dream world is as ‘real’ as our awake physical world but with different rules of causes and effects. All realities interelate or crossover with information and awarenesses. Our dream body is a part of ‘us’ that is having a different perspective of life. Many times we are aware of our dream bodies’ excursions but most of the time we are not. Flying dreams are actually the dream body flying. The dream body is a nonphysical consciousness of us that can never die. Many times we will meet someone in our dreams and have a conversation with them that seems sooo real. The truth is that one dream body has met with another dream body and has passed information or an emotion that carries enough weight and importance to allow it to pass over into the ‘awake’ physical dimension. Some dreams are meant to be remembered, some are not. Some have a pertinent message while others do not. Some dreams are so powerfully and emotionally charged that they can change or awaken your feelings for someone, yet others are only filters for anxiety or fear. Some dreams are prophetic and some are not. If you are meant to understand the meaning of a dream, the meaning will come to you. You will intuitively know the ones that are important and the ones that are not. Dreams like everything else in this world is God’s will. Everything that happens is God’s will. Life is God’s movie. Live life with wide opens eyes of awe. Freedom is letting go of all preconceptions. Be ok with what is because everything is God’s destined plan. By sitting in a chair of unconditional faith, you will experience the sweet spot of life. Life is an experience that is completely out of your control. Let go of the illusion and enjoy the ride.
